Kuon (クオン) is the main heroine of Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen. She is a healer and a traveler from Tuskuru. She found an amnesiac man who does not have any recollection of his past in the forest and gives him the name Haku. She became Haku's "Guardian" ever since. She is the daughter of Hakuoro and Yuzuha and has inherited some of Witsuarunemitea's powers, giving her inhuman strength and enchantments.

Kuon is a beautiful young lady with a slender appearance. She has long black hair bound by ribbons in a hair bun and low pony tail. Despite how modest her clothes make her look, she has a curvy figure and is quite buxom.

Kuon can be described as very kind, but can also beat one up with a smile still on her face. She has a huge appetite and is shown to eat many times more what Haku ate. She is also shown to be bashful whenever her tail is touched. Her tail also spikes much like a cat when she is frightened. She acts respectfully towards those who raised her yet when speaking about them, she can be embarrassed about it. However, anyone who makes her angry (Haku) will receive a fitting punishment from her, mostly from her tail.

She seems to have a perverted side on Haku when he was taking a bath and she peeked on him. She has a scary side of which only shown on Haku and Anju with a smile still on her face of which may appear to them as a "monster."

While using Witsuarunemitea's powers, her other personality resurface, a cold and distant demeanor. Kuon was born with both of Witsuarunemitea's natures, the good and the dark. When Kuon was young, she could hear another voice from inside of her to unleashed her power, and embrace the darkness. Eruuru in response, explains to her that she carried the divine blood of Witsuarunemitea which halts her illness. She mustn't use her powers or she will be sick. The truth is the more Kuon uses her power, the closer she will lose her humanity.

Kuon's first unofficial appearance was as a baby in the epilogue when Oboro carries it to go visit Yuzuha's grave saying he will take her child to go visit the world, which is likely why Kuon likes to wander so much. Oboro says that Kuon's mother died giving birth and Kuon calls Oboro her father. It is unknown if she knows Hakuoro is her real father but calls Oboro dad like she calls everyone else mom. Oboro has been stalking Kuon for a good while like he stalking his sister before.

Kuon was a big ball curiosity when she was child. The only time she was quiet was when she fell asleep. If they tried to make her study, she would run away. She even found some sake and had a taste of it before passing out and being discovered by Eruruu, a topic she is rather embarrassed about. She was raised by Hakuoro's wives and refers to many of them as her mothers, with the exception of Karura, Kamyu, and Aruruu.

Kuon was treating Haku inside a tent, asking him about his condition and not to strain himself as she will tell him everything he wanted to know later. After his sudden disappearance, she searched until she found him having trouble with a monster known as the "Curse", where she threw some sort of flash grenade and rescued him out of the cave. She gave him clothes that were formerly worn by Oboro in order to replace his current one. Kuon explained that she took him in since he was found collapsed alone in an isolated place and she just can't abandon him there. Due to his amnesia, she offered to put him under her care for a meantime, which Haku gladly accepted. With his living decided, she also gave him his current name, stating that it has a long history.

Kuon was attending her duties as Mikoto of Tuskuru, she barely mentioned Haku to her foster siblings. Once the envoy from Yamato arrived and saw Oshutoru, she got a set of hard feeling towards him, since she makes him responsible for "Haku's death", she got even angrier at him when she sees him wielding Tessen and she beat him near death (Unaware that Oshutoru is Haku in disguise). until Anju interferes. After that Oshutoru once again apologies to Kuon as she expresses her sorrow about Haku. She decides to come along to help him in Yamato's Civil War.

Before Leaving Amateratsu, Oshutoru shows her a similar capsule to the one when she found with Haku still on cold-sleep. Oshutoru explained everything about technology used to keep Haku alive for many centuries and plus revealing himself to be alive all along since arriving to En'nakamui. And thus the two share a romantic kiss.

As Oshutoru/Haku was fighting Woshisu under the influence of the emperor's prototype Akuruka, he enters Akuruturuka form full power. Meanwhile, Kuon and the rest of the group fight off the Tatari. After the battle, Kuon, Rurutie, Atui, Nekone, Kiuru, Nosuri, Ougi, Yakutowaruto, Shinonon and the other waited for Oshutoru; only to find a dying Haku with a severed arm. Everyone was shocked that Haku used Oshutoru's identity since the real General of the Right was long dead before arriving at En'nakamui. Haku gives a short chat to everyone of the group; as for Kuon, Haku thanks her for everything she has done since they meet and apologizes to her for causing her such pain by faking his death. Haku smiles at her as he turns to ashes.

Kuon enters in rampage and losing control of her powers by the grief of Haku's death. She gets possessed by Dark Witsuarunemitea (inherited from Hakuoro) and nearly loses all of her humanity within her. At first she was battling against her allies, then became Dark Witsuarunemitea's core. As she nearly kills Nekone, Haku stopped the attack with a flash of light as he returns, now wearing Witsuarunemitea's mask, he takes the Tessen and encourages everyone to battle and save Kuon. As Dark Witsuarunemitea is defeated once and for all, Haku carries Kuon to outside the ruins, just as she was about to thank him for saving her, Haku suddenly disappears, leaving behind his Tessen.

After the battle both Kuon and Anju now empress, they declare that the rivaly between Tuskuru and Yamato has ended, now declaring a further peace act by establishing union between both countries with the people cheering in approval. By this declaration Tuskuru comes to aid Yamato refugees who suffered the Civil war and the destruction of the Imperial City.

Kuon is back on a journey to find Haku, and stops at the first village she met Haku. There is a rumour that a travelling god comes and goes helping those in need.

Kuon meeting Haku in a dream.

The god is called Mashiro-sama. While she was sleeping she dreamed of Haku. She told Haku all of the stuff that's been happening and everyone wanted him to come back. Kuon told Haku she can't see his face since Haku cover it with shadow but Kuon wished to see his face. Then Haku made a light shine by revealing his face to her. But Haku did not say anything other than laughing and told her to wake and sleep under than blanket cause she will get cold. And she woke up trying to chase after Haku, but it was a dream and Haku made her not to able to move after that. The landlady came by to tell Kuon about a miracle that happen. When she went outside the village turns to spring time. She said it how that possible in just one night the snow is all gone.

And the landlady said Mashiro-sama must've came by. She told Kuon about him that Mashiro-sama has two followers and flower petals keep falling around him where ever he goes. Then she realizes that there is flower petals on her and the Tessen was gone. Haku took the Tessen back as a price for making the village stop snowing and her wish to see his face. Haku also got rid of the Tatari, Gigiri, and Borogiri from the caves to make it easier and safer for people to go into the forest.

Kuon looking forward on meeting Haku again.

Haku tells her that he is fine and he is on a journey so she doesn't have to worry about him. Kuon tries to chase him, but she couldn't move. Kuon shedding a tear, smiles and says she is getting closer to Haku and she won't let him go the next time they meet. The meeting of the two is expected to happen very soon.

Kuon first met Haku in a forest, she rescued him from a Curse within a cave. At first she had a curiosity about him, at the village's inn she decided to name him Haku since he doesn't remember his own name.

Kuon and Haku

She even peeked at him while in the bath. She watches over him since she decided to be his "guardian" at the time they met and has taught him how to read and write. She is strict with Haku on working, however she is impressed about his intelligence. She is mostly with Haku while doing their chores, free time, or even on missions. She seems to enjoy his company and consider each other as family. She initially did not have romantic feelings toward Haku even when Atui asked about it, however when she insisted by asking if they do some "strange things" with each other, she seemed embarrassed about it. When her "sisters" arrived on the capital she asked Haku to leave with her before they find her. During Anju's false kidnap she was impressed and worried when Haku could defend himself against Oshutoru. When war between Yamato and the Uzuurusha started, she asked Haku to come along in a "unusual" way and telling him that it's good having him around and was so happy when he accepted her request. She got so worried when Haku was confronting Vurai on his Akuruturuka form, even more when Vurai nearly killed him only to be protected by the Kamunagi of Chains. She was trying to cheer up Haku after the war was over, so she along with Rurutie and Nekone went to "hang out" with Haku. Kuon and the others girls gave him love letters, which hints that Kuon may have romantic feelings for him. When Haku was summoned by emperor she ask him to be back at dinnertime and she mentioned "This isn't much fun" after he left. When Haku returned from the royal palace she ask him if something happened since he seems upset at dinner, later she sings him a song as he sleeps, the same song Eruruu used for Hakuoro. At the time when Yamato declares war upon her homeland, she became frustrated and locked herself in her room and later she went to Karura's place to think over, Haku expresses his disagreement about Oshutoru giving him tasks, of which she became aware that Haku was worried and searched for her all day as he doesn't approve war even less when Yamato declares war upon her homeland. At the next morning she travels with the others ready to depart, then she smiles at Haku with a happy and joyful face. Before arriving to Tuskuru, Haku asks her about her decision to come, she explains to him of her resolve to end the war as the only one who can. While returning to Yamato, she wondered about Haku's distress concerning the Emperor's death since Haku isn't actually from Yamato. While leaving the Imperial City, she looked back worried about Haku if he was able to escape as well, however she believes

Kuon in grief by Haku's "death"

Haku will be able to make it to En'nakamui. When she was told from Oshutoru (Haku in disguise) that Haku was dead and the proof was Tessen, she became distraught with grief and decided to return to Tuskuru. When hugged by her uncle Oboro, he reveals that what Kuon felt towards Haku was love, making her cry out his name in sadness and shedding her tears.

Kuon kisses Haku/Oshutoru

In Futari no Hakuoro, Kuon had a set of hard feelings toward Oshutoru , since she makes him reponsible for "Haku's death", she got even angrier at him when she sees him wielding Tessen and she beat him near death ( Unaware that Oshutoru is Haku in disguise). until Anju interferes. After that Oshutoru once again apologies to Kuon as she expresses her sorrow about Haku. She decides to come along to help him in Yamato's Civil War. Kuon was rather suprised when she learned that Haku was in fact the Emperor's Brother from Mito Himself who explained that Haku was the last hope to restore humanity. In the process Kuon feels romantic feelings toward Oshutoru that they even kissed since Oshutoru reveal himself to be Haku since arriving to En'nakamui. As Haku reveals himself after the final battle that he was playing as Oshutoru, he thanks Kuon for everything she has done for him and apologies to her by faking his death. As he revived he is focused on saving Kuon. In the Epilogue, Haku smiles at Kuon and tells her to not to worry about him, informing her that he is on a journey and he will be back.

Aruruu - One of her sisters that raised her, Kuon claims that she and Kamyu are the two family members who are the most overprotective of her.

Kamyu - One of her sisters that raised her, Kuon claims that she and Aruruu are the two family members who are the most overprotective of her.

Touka - One of her mothers who raised her, Touka is somewhat overprotective of her yet sees her as a grown-up woman.

Karura - One of her mothers who raised her, Kuon often mistakes her as mother which incurs her wrath and prefers to be called sister instead.

Eruruu - One of her mothers that raised her, Eruruu has the strongest bond to Kuon. She is the one who taught Kuon to be a healer. She also refers to Eruruu as Haha-sama instead of the usual first name followed by -okaasan, indicating of how close the two are. When Kuon met Eruruu for the first time in many years at Onkamiyamukai, she was filled with great sorrow and relief and hugged by her, wondering where she had been in the time she disappeared.

Hakuoro - Kuon's biological father. She never met him and aware that Hakuoro is her father but not the fact that he is the god Witsuarunemitea. She has inherited some of his powers. Because of this, Kuon is very fond of stories and legend about the old humanity.

Kuon in Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen Game. (Note: Witsuarunemitea's shadow on the wall.)

Kuon possesses a great strength and agility of which she can knock out a soldier and carry a person without much effort. She can even drag Haku using only her tail even squeeze him while holding in air.

Kuon has some of Witsuarunemitea's powers, which according to Kurou, are enough to tear a country, like Tuskuru, apart.

While escaping from the Imperial City, some archers shot at her, but just before being hurt by the arrows, she unconsciously stopped them and unleashed a energy pulse capable of wipe out a great number of soldiers and buildings, leaving none of them alive.

There were some soldiers in the epilogue that tried to capture her while Kuon was unstable due to thinking that Haku had died. She first burnt some with fire, after that she freezes some of them and shattered that ice they had become and last she made their arms rot and crumble into pieces. One was able to escape, however it ended soon with him becoming food to Mukkuru.

It's unknown if Kuon is aware or can freely use her powers. When she used it she was going berserk, and even her voice changed into a more scary one, similar to Hakuoro when he turns into his god form. Not much is said or told, as she used it to kill those who tried to capture her, and it looked like she was looking for the person(s) who "killed" Haku. However, it seemed like Oboro had dealt with this before since he calmly calmed down Kuon even though she hurt him in the process.
